The winners of the Royal Observatory Greenwich Annual Astrophotography Competition were announced in Sept 2023.

This year's overall top spot came from the Galaxies category—"Andromeda, Unexpected", titled for the large, blue plasma arc pictured next to our nearest galactic neighbor. The plasma streak is actually a new discovery and is now being studied by scientists as perhaps one of the largest phenomenon of its type anywhere in the known universe.

Winners in other categories include:

Moon, runner up: the colourful hue that surrounds the moon is a lunar corona formed while bright moonlight is diffracted by water droplets in thin clouds [credit: Miguel Claro]

Best Young Astronomy Photographer: the Running Chicken Nebula [credit: Runwei Xu and Binyu Wang, both 14 years old]

Skyscapes, winner: the extremely rare phenomena captured in this photograph are called sprites. Sprites occur like lightning, high in Earth's atmosphere, and are seldom witnessed from the ground.

Skyscapes, runner up: time-lapse photography of star trails. The movement of the stars in the northern and southern hemispheres both appear to bend away from the stars moving along the celestial equator. [credit: Louis Leroux-Gere] {source: Space.com}

Scientists propose method that imparts elastic recovery to ferroelectric materials

A research group led by Prof. Li Runwei at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a "slight cross-linking" method that imparts elastic recovery to ferroelectric materials. The study was published in Science. Ferroelectric materials are very useful for applications such as data storage and processing, sensing, energy conversion, and optoelectronics, etc., making them highly desirable in mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices for everyday use. After stress is relieved, however, conventional ferroelectric materials exhibit poor elastic recovery—typically less than 2%, thus tend to be either brittle (ferroelectric ceramics) or plastic (ferroelectric polymers). The ferroelectric properties of these materials are mainly due to their crystalline regions, which lack intrinsic elasticity.

Cosmic Delights and Distant Discoveries Unfold in ‘Astronomy Photographer of the Year 15’

In its 15th year, the Royal Observatory Greenwich’s Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition (previously) welcomed more than 4,000 entries from photographers in 64 countries, who set their sights on the night skies. From solar flares to dancing auroras to distant galaxies, the winners of this year’s contest highlight the endless wonders of the cosmos and the astonishing technological advances that allow us to see light years away in unprecedented detail.

The overall winning image, “Andromeda, Unexpected,” was the result of a collaboration between astrophotographers Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner, and Yann Sainty. The trio discovered an enormous plasma arc next to the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), spurring a transnational scientific collaboration to further investigate the phenomena.

We’ve shared a few favorites here, and you can see all shortlisted images in the contest’s online gallery. If you’re in London, you can visit the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich starting on September 16 to see more than 100 prints on display.

"Angel An (China). 'Grand Cosmic Fireworks'. Winner of the Skyscapes Category.

" Peter Ward.(Australia). 'Dark Star'. Runner-up in the Our Sun Category.
